I am reviewing https://www.eyeque.com/visioncheck/ and I'd like

remote device can help. If you want, also let me know how your
practice is doing. Is business down? By how much?

Requirements:

You must be a doctor of optometry or ophthalmology. Please
provide when your doctorate was issued and at what school. Add
any additional comments on the Eye Que device based on your
